This song was presented to me by a gorgeous Danish lady I met recently and it just resonated with me in spite of not understanding the language; the music and melody alone moved me to a state of emotion. The lady and I have become very close, in case you're interested!! Thank you Laleh.

Kanske den vackraste sång som skrivits på svenska. Jag blir alldeles fylld i hjärtat av den. Laleh är en stor poet. Tack för att vi fick Laleh till oss.

Jag valde denna till min älskades mans begravning 17 augusti i somras för han älskade livet...bara få dagar från slutet sa han...jag ser fram emot nästa dag..det var min man i ett nötskal..så glad och positiv trots svåra smärtor

Älskar den här låten .Tänker på min Älskade son som bara fick 29 år på jorden. ♥️

This song brings such a melancholic, yet uplifting feeling. A true modern masterpiece. This is true art. It’s a light in the dark as you find yourself standing at the beginning yet at the end, simultaneously.

Etter å ha opplevd ‘at vi er stjerner’ på kroppen. Dette er den vakreste teksten og musikken jeg kan tenke meg nå. Den lever videre, alltid tidløs og aktuell🌎

I came here after watched "A man called Ove". Wonderful movie, wonderful song!

[pocewar]

This is a timeless song, not only because of its beautiful musical composition but also because of its meaning. Glad to have discovered it after watching also beautiful movie “A man called Ove”

[conorlee]

The movie "A Man Called Ove" brings me here!! I don't understand the language, but this song just gives me brightness and hope. I loved it. Thank you, Laleh. Now you have one more fan from Taiwan. :)

[alicegranberg]

Helt underbar komposition. Blir berörd varje gång jag hör denna upplyftande och vackra sång. Love it, Laleh

[paolaoscarsson]

Tillägnar musiken till alla människor i denna värld som inte längre finns med oss

Efter min syster tagit sitt liv så var denna låten den hon ville spela på sin minnesstund. Jag spelar den varje år på den dagen, men hör den BARA på den dagen... I början var den för tung att nästan klara av att lyssna på, gått lite över 9 år nu, blir lättare och lättare. Men varje gång jag hör denna så ser jag mest en sak.. hennes ansikte gå från färglöst till färg igen efter jag fick henne från onda tankar till ett leende och skratt för en stund innan några timmar senare de tunga hände. Tack för denna låten Laleh❤

[BioLivbanon]

This song is so beautiful. And meaningful.
It was played on my little brother's funeral and captures the short moment we have on this earth...

[Denvwer]

Thanks for song! After listening to it, I wanted to live again! Спасибо за песню! После того, как послушал-опять захотелось жить!

[flowerflower]

Den här vackra låten tillägnar jag min underbara dotter som dog i april. Marie älskade din musik laleh, Marie blev 21 år

This has officially made me cry basically in the same way that Sigur Rós can bring good tears to my face, the kind of tears that remind me of the good things in life, that I am alive, that I should enjoy every moment on Earth, and the love of my beloved ones. They way she sings the line NU KAN VI SÄGA just reaches my soul and breaks my heart.

Man, there is something about Swedish language that makes this song sound so kingly, cellestial, strong, holy, delightful, graceful, imposing and divine.
I say this though as a native speaker of the Spanish language from Mexico, who reads and teaches English for a living and has a solid love for all things languages-related.

This somehow reminds me of the Latin phrase CARPE DIEM. Make your life extraordinary and, literally, cultivate days and memories from those days lived. Make your life something great and dream big. She might as well have called the song or the whole album CARME DIEM.

Apologize for any mistakes, for writing such a long comment and for not being able to speak more languages. I wish I could reply in Swedish but I am human and I have limits. Also, I read somewhere that Nordics find it weird that foreigners attempt to speak their languages, so I'll stick to English.

Better translation:

We were like stars
that had fallen into the sea
As we took those first steps
out of the ocean
it actually hit me
as we were wading through the water

I lay down on the ground
and thanked the heavens
that we got to reach land
that we got to feel the sand
Now we can say
that we have been on Earth

Yes, I was there
How wonderful it was
Oh, how wonderful it was
I was so close, I was so close
I was so close, I was there!
A moment on Earth,
a moment on Earth
I was so close, I was so close
I was so close, I was there!
A moment on Earth,
a moment on Earth
...Earth

I defeated the mountains
I split the sea
I was the strongest one of us
but still the weakest one was me

I got to hold your hand
when you had to let go of your dreams
and eventually reconcile with time
I got to see you thank life
(In spite of everything)

Now we can say, now we can say
that we have been on Earth
And tell everyone that I was there
How wonderful it was
Oh, how wonderful it was
I was so close, I was so close
I was so close, I was there!
A moment on Earth,
a moment on Earth
I was so close, I was so close
I was so close, I was there!
A moment on Earth,
a moment on Earth

Yes, I was there
How wonderful it was
A moment on Earth
Aaah....ahaa-haha-hahaaa
A moment on Earth
A moment on Earth

Bäste Laleh du är så himla fantastisk. Det är det här musik handlar om! Jag hoppas att fler får upp ögonen för dig och lär sig uppskatta din musik på samma sätt som jag gjort. Om fler tog till sig din musik skulle världen vara en så mycket finare plats.

Thank you. "A man called Ove" brought me here. A great picture. I love this song. May every creature in the Universe feel true unconditional Love.

Heard this in a small beautiful movie in the end credits about 5 years ago. still cant get over the feeling of satisfaction this song brings back, truly mesmerizing.
